Anyone know how far in advance can these be purchased? It seems the Doge's Palace skip the line tickets are for sale and valid for 3 months.... any advise re these? We would like to be there on the morning of 9/1/25 if possible. Thanks

I know for sure you can get them more than 3 months in advance if you go through a tour company. I booked ours about 5 months in advance when I last went.

I purchased so-called ski the line tickets from a marketplace called headout. After I made the purchase, I realized it was a voucher to then go to a local travel agent in venice to pick up tickets. This was somewhat unscrupulous. They did not inform me that I was picking up a voucher in advance of my purchase and I canceled the reservation. I wonder if all of these ticket vendor agencies function this way.

Thanks so much. The Basilica web site suddenly worked after many tries in the last 2 weeks. I purchased timed entry to the Doge's Palace through Booking.com which provided me with a timed pass I could download and print and seems real enough and was well reviewed on that site.
